I think this is possibly the Royal Dublin Fusiliers insignia on a bugle - can anyone confirm ?

Gerard - you're lucky, I was just about to make jokes on the Welsh Fusiliers ! How's your eyesight ?

Actually, I am not at all happy with this bugle. The Indians have been making bad repros for the past 20 years and I'm afraid the moulding on the badge would ring warning bells for me - however, you can't always tell from a photo. Are there any Regt. markings that look genuine ? Mervyn

Hi Mervyn, I decided to pass on this, I had thought it was some kind of 'Royal Dublin Fusiliers' insignia I was not familiar with, or one they had altered to fit on the bugle or something like that but as it is a 'Royal Welsh Fusiliers' one it would be of less interest to me personally. Bugles would not be my thing (in case you had not noticed !) but the Royal Dublin Fusiliers aspect would have made it interesting for me.

Also the condition does not appear great at all compared to others I have seen available when I was looking into this online earlier. When I was looking online earlier I also saw a site about showing how easily the WWI ones were extensively faked and modified too. To be honest that post above was a bit of a rush post as I thought it was a golden bargain going for the asking ! Oh well maybe next time:)

P.S. the owner is looking for €70 or offers which seems quite high to me unless I am missing something.
